Chapter 7
When Gu Jingchen arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Ye Mingche was standing there.
He patted Ye Mingche on the shoulder.
"Cousin."
Gu Jingchen said gently, "Mingche, Third Master Zheng is related to a case I have on my hands, and there may be clues in today's drinking party. Are you willing to be an insider?"
Ye Mingche's eyes lit up.
"Yes!"
Ye Mingche admired Gu Jingchen the most. He was already the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple at a young age and had solved countless strange cases.
He was so happy that he could solve cases with Gu Jingchen and help Gu Jingchen!
As for the fact that he was designed to have his life cut off tonight, he had already thrown it aside.
So Ye Mingche went out happily.
Zheng Shaoling, the third young master of the Shangshu Mansion, was waiting for him anxiously at the door.
Seeing him coming out, he showed a happy expression.
"Mingche, you finally came out, hurry up, everyone is waiting for you!"
Ye Mingche is usually a mess, but that doesn't mean he is stupid.
Zheng Shaoling...
He has been playing with Zheng Shaoling for so many years, and he has been fooled by him so many times. He thought that the two of them were brothers wearing the same pants.
Unexpectedly, he was just being sentimental.
Ha! It's
just for fun.
He will accompany you.
Ye Mingche directly hooked his arm around Zheng Shaoling's neck, "Let's go, let's drink!"
"Let's go!"
The two of them went to the largest wine house in the imperial city, Tianxianglou, with their arms around each other.
When Ye Mingche and Zheng Shaoling arrived, there were already six young masters from aristocratic families who usually fooled around in the private room. When they saw the two of them coming, they greeted them warmly.
"Master Ye, Master Zheng, you are a little late!"
Zheng Shaoling patted Ye Mingche.
"I was saying that if I hadn't gone to wait for him, Master Ye wouldn't have come!"
"Why don't you want to come?"
Ye Mingche laughed heartily, "My sister has come to my house, I have to cultivate my relationship with her!"
Others joked.
"What sister? You mean your lover's sister?"
Ye Mingche went up and kicked the other person, not hard, but not light either.
"Don't talk nonsense, she is my real sister!"
"My real sister Ye Qingqing"
Ye Mingche only has one sister, Ye Qingqing, and he doesn't get along with this sister. He
is often annoyed by Ye Qingqing and calls them out for drinks.
Today, he actually refused to come out to drink for Ye Qingqing
The sun rises from the west
The Ye family’s true and false daughter is unknown to the rest of the family, so Ye Mingche simply took this opportunity to clear Ye Jingyue’s name.
“Ye Qingqing is not my biological sister, she is just a fake who has taken over the nest!”
“Ah” everyone was very curious, “What’s going on?”
Zheng Shaoling saw that Ye Mingche was about to say something, and quickly interrupted them.
“Come on, let’s drink first, why are you talking so much? By the way, I heard that Tianxiang Pavilion has a new singer, who is so beautiful, I have a way, let everyone see her.”
With just one sentence, this group of uneducated young men instantly became interested, and they no longer cared about the true and false daughter of the Ye family.
"I heard about it, too. She is very beautiful. I came here today just for her."
"Hurry up, call in if you have a way."
"Let's share the good stuff..."
Zheng Shaoling went to call people over.
At this time, Ye Mingche was also very bold.
He probably guessed that the beautiful woman Zheng Shaoling was talking about was someone who looked 80% like the late emperor.
The current emperor is still crazy because of the empress. He really wants to see how beautiful the person who can make the emperor so crazy is.
Gu Jingchen was in the private room upstairs, standing in a corner that no one could see and watching the movements downstairs.
A graceful figure with a veil twisted her waist as she walked upstairs from the first floor, her figure was slender, graceful and charming...
Gu Jingchen saw that when she raised her eyes, her eyebrows and eyes were charming and seductive.
When he saw those eyes, they were exactly the same as the eyes of the person in the painting he saw today, and the half face was also overlapped with the person in the painting.
The difference was the temperament.
The temperament of the person in the painting was dignified and bright, while this woman was charming and charming.
It is not difficult to imagine that if this woman really had a face that looked 80% like the former emperor and became the emperor's favorite concubine, what kind of bloody storm would be set off in the imperial city in the future.
Gu Jingchen's gentle and noble face did not show any emotion, and he winked at the person in the dark.
"Here they come."
Everyone in the box looked at the door with burning eyes.
A pretty figure appeared.
"I, the servant Ya'er, have seen you...ah!"
Before Ya'er finished her etiquette, a man in black fell behind her and chopped her body with a big knife in his hand mercilessly. She only had time to scream before she fell to the ground without a sound.
This scene scared everyone in the box and the entire Tianxiang Building.
Then there were screams everywhere.
"Ah! There's an assassin!"
"Catch the assassin!"
"Murder, help!"
After the man in black killed Ya'er, he chopped at several young men in the box. Everyone ran for their lives in all directions. Some hid behind the screen, some hid under the table, some hid behind the door, and some jumped directly out of the window.
Zheng Shaoling was unlucky. He was caught by the man in black while hiding at the door. He cut off his vitals with a knife.
He screamed miserably and fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.
A team of soldiers rushed in.
The assassin jumped out of the window and escaped.
Under the emperor's nose, someone openly assassinated Ye Mingche in the largest wine house in the imperial city of Daqian Kingdom, which was a challenge to the emperor's authority.
The emperor was furious and immediately ordered the Dali Temple Minister Gu Jingchen to investigate.
It was late at night when Ye Mingche returned home.
When Ye Bojian heard that he was back, he and Gu Rong were anxiously guarding at the door.
Gu Rong asked worriedly: "How could there be an assassination attempt?"
Ye Bojian: "What's going on?"
Shortly after the assassination, the two received news from the government office that the target of the assassination was Ye Mingche's private room, some people were injured, and some were dead, so they were asked to wait for news.
Both were very anxious.
Gu Rong was anxious about Ye Mingche's safety.
Ye Bojian was anxious that his plan had failed.
Ye Mingche looked exhausted. "Don't mention it. We were having a good meal when Zheng Shaoling said there was a beautiful singer in Tianxianglou and asked her to come over to entertain us. As soon as we entered, the assassin came. He chopped the woman and injured Zheng Shaoling. If the soldiers hadn't come quickly, I wouldn't know if I would be lying or standing."
Gu Rong slapped his chest hard.
"Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about!"
She glanced at Ye Bojian and found that Ye Bojian's face was pale.
Gu Rong sneered in her heart.
He must have been too shocked to hear the news that the woman was hacked to death!
Gu Rong patted Ye Mingche's shoulder and said softly: "You are scared today. I have asked someone to make a calming soup. I will take you to drink it."
The distraught Ye Bojian was directly forgotten by her.
